A contact in Australia just alerted me to
what he describes as "very strange
weather taking place over the south
west of Australia".
Anyone have any ideas regarding this? The recent weather we have been experiencing is not normal as it is but this?

Hate to be "that guy" but this looks fake to me. I am sure that some of our Aussie members can chime in on this. Can you find any evidence of that
ring anywhere else? I would think that more than a UFO blog would at least create a story on it if it really happened.

The image is taken straight off the bureau of meteorology website. And he would have had on Satellite, and radar ticked. Because you dont get those
circles from jsut the sateliite alone. Just the radar.

Actually if you clicked the link you'd see it's taken from another website with more pictures, including pictures that had been screenshot from the
BOM (the australian weather agency) website. I've seen something like this before so it isn't fake but there was some explanation that I've now
forgot.

A guy that works there posts on ATS a lot I think it's OzWeatherman. Anyway I'm sure he'd know what it is.

Early Saturday there were sort of concentric circles of echoes between 200 Kms and 400 Kms from Kalgoorlie-Boulder. However there was no weather
around this area from which radar signals might have been reflected. It would therefore seem to be due to what is referred to as "anomalous
propagation ".(false echoes) or even possibly dust in the atmosphere.

Heres the other links www.youtube.com...www.youtube.com...
There have been a few recently reported? what causes these then? anyone?
Looks exactly like those from my origional post above follow the lonks above

Does that 'something' include a prosaic (normal, everyday) occurrence be it technical or natural? Just wondering because you don't appear to have
accepted any of the given explanations yet, ergo, still asking the question.

Jep, that's a glitchy radar showing false echoes. We see it on www.buienradar.nl... (dutch rain radar) too sometimes. My father works
for the Royal Dutch Weather Institute and explained it to me a while ago.

Example:

For instance, the rings you see in this picture are melting bands (translated from dutch: smeltbanden). The rings are situated around the radar
stations in De Bilt and Den Helder and are caused by zones where snow formed on high altitude, transforms to rain.

No, this thread should live on as a reminder that weather circles happen due to glitches. No point in deleting it. Not that I've bothered to confirm
this is a glitch but it makes sense to me that it is... I have seen radar holes be called strange weather phenomenon before on ATS.
